Donald Trump's lawyer is opposing special counsel Jack Smith's request to a federal judge in Washington, D.C. that they be able to file an extensive briefing on the 2020 election criminal case.

Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is presiding over the case, set limits on filings to 45 pages unless otherwise granted by her. Smith filed a motion Sept. 21, where he said that if he addresses the presidential immunity issue, it would take more pages for his briefing.

Donald Trump's campaign attacked Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing federal prosecutors of charging his would-be assassin with what amounts to a "slap on the wrist."

The Justice Department charged 58-year-old Ryan Routh with weapons counts to prevent him from being released on bail. More charges were expected to be added, prosecutors said during the morning court proceedings

The Mormon voting block might be experiencing a dramatic shift away from the Republican Party, a new report claimed Monday.

The Deseret News reported Monday that the conservative faith that is traditionally loyal to the GOP over social issues is showing signs of a fundamental change.

Donald Trump made it clear that he has no intention of participating in another debate after his poor performance against Kamala Harris — and now one of his former aides is mocking him for it.

Ex-campaign adviser and short-lived White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci told CNN last week that Trump wouldn't be able to resist and would do another debate.

Stock in Donald Trump's media company continued to crater Monday as company insiders near their first opportunity to unload their stake.

On Friday, Truth Social insiders will have their first opportunity to sell. Monday marks the start of a two-day filing deadline for announcing intentions to cash out, Market Watch said.

Political troublemakers at the anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project trolled the former president again Friday, this time in an ad targeting Donald Trump's white nationalist and conspiracy-theorizing adviser Laura Loomer.

The far-right firebrand has been noticeably at the side of the former president for weeks and long-time Trump loyalists are begging him to reject her.

The editor-in-chief for a conservative news and opinion site took to the social media site X to jab Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine over comments he wrote in The New York Times.

DeWine and his Republican comrades in the state have faced myriad of threats after former President Donald Trump and running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance's (R-OH), promoted a racist conspiracy theory that Haitian immigrants are eating people's pets in Springfield, Ohio.

It has been a little over a week since former President Donald Trump faced off against Vice President Kamala Harris in their first, and possibly only debate. During a Georgia rally, Harris-supporter were still laughing at Trump's widely-panned performance.

Harris brought up the mother and sisters of Amber Thurman, who died after Georgia's strict restrictions on abortion took effect, which was ushered in after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The official Georgia committee ruled that Thurman's death was preventable.

Donald Trump went on a mini-posting spree on Truth Social Friday afternoon, including a false claim that he worked to help limit flavored vaping to stop kids from using it.

"I saved Flavored Vaping in 2019," Trump said, "and it greatly helped people get off smoking. I raised the age to 21, keeping it away from the 'kids.'"

Daniel Driscoll, the Republican chief prosecutor for Clark County, which includes Springfield, Ohio, is calling out Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) for lying about crime statistics to create a story that the city is being overrun with violence.

Driscoll spoke to CNN's fact-checker Daniel Dale after Vance falsely claimed that "murders are up by 81 percent because of what Kamala Harris has allowed happening to this small community."

Political stalwart and longtime columnist Greg Sargent on Friday got into a spat with Real Clear Politics co-founder Tom Bevan over the 2024 election polls.

In a chart Bevans uploaded to the social media site X, he provided a column showing how far off the polling numbers were in 2020 and 2016. The implication is that the polls recently, showing Vice President Kamala Harris leading, are just as far off as they were in 2020 and 2016.

National Journal reporter James Downs posted a shocking release from the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), which is responsible for getting Republicans elected to Congress.

In it, the NRCC brags about six young candidates it "recruited" to run, but two of them have a history of purported connections to antisemitism.

Republican Voters Against Trump president and longtime GOP pollster Sarah Longwell confessed that a key moment in the Tuesday debate was "stunning."

Speaking with MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Wednesday, Longwell said that what struck her the most was the question about the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
